Passing of a Landmark in New Ulm History
The old first business house of New Ulm, built 1857, moves from Minnesota and First streets to the rear of its lot to make way for a modern tenement. Once a centerpiece of the city, it endured fires, blizzards, and time, with Stamm and Pfennig er as builders while Behnke and Pregnitz and others occupied it. O M Olsen now owns it and plans a corner modernization, moving the timber house back as plans for a new block proceed.
